Thanks for that aarcuda!! My point is this...why would you spend $60-$80-$100 or more on a dampener that might shift or separate?? I'm building a 318 Stroker (390 CI). I plan to buy a new dampener and just can't see spending money on something that could cause problems later. Besides, don't fluid dampeners control/minimize crank vibrations better than a stock two piece dampener??? I'm trying to understand why someone would spend X dollars on a stock type dampener when they can get a fluid dampener for the same price or less??
Maybe someone who is knowledgeable about fluid dampeners can give me a good answer??
